The Look of Shallow Grave

Few movies feel as cold-blooded as Danny Boyle’s Shallow Grave, a fact attributable as much to its striking and sinister visual approach as its bleak downward spiral of a plot and amoral main characters. In this clip from an interview included in our new special edition of the film, actors Ewan McGregor and Christopher Eccleston talk about how much they like the look of the film, particularly the tracking shots and lighting by cinematographer Brian Tufano (Quadrophenia, Trainspotting) and the dark blues and set dressing of production designer Kave Quinn (Trainspotting, The Woman in Black), all of which help make Shallow Grave the effective chiller that it is.
